The number of PC gamers using Steam is now greater than the number of [b][u]Xbox Live users, which stands at 48 million[/u][/b] according to Microsoft.[/quote] You could argue that a lot of those Steam accounts could be ALTs, but you can also say the same thing about XBL accounts, since you can make one of those for free as well (although you have to pay for XBL Gold to basically do anything). At least when somebody goes to make a Steam account, unlike on XBL, you don't have to have any money to start playing games right off the bat. ;)
